Description
La présente invention concerne une montre selon préambule de la revendication 1.
Il est connu, par exemple de la demande de brevet suisse 663 318, des montres pour golfeur munies de plusieurs compteurs.
Il est également connu, dans le domaine des montres de régates, d'afficher des données par moyens analogiques tels que des disques changeant de couleur.
Trop souvent, une erreur de manipulation des moyens d'incrémentation d'un compteur, telle que l'actionnement involontaire d'un bouton-poussoir, ne se laisse pas facilement corriger par le golfeur. Il faut dans certains cas remettre à zéro le compteur et le ré-incrémenter pas à pas. Cet inconvénient rend fastidieux l'usage de la montre et entraîne une désaffection du joueur, qui préfère alors compter les coups par d'autres moyens.
L'invention se propose de remédier à cet inconvénient par les moyens décrits dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.
Dans une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens pour décrémenter consistent en un bouton-poussoir, qui sera par exemple placé à 10 heures. Ce bouton-poussoir décrémente à la fois un compteur analogique et le compteur cumulatif.
Dans une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, la montre est également équipée de moyens de remise à zéro, agissant séparément sur un compteur analogique et sur le compteur cumulatif, et constitués par exemple de boutons-poussoirs placés respectivement à 2 heures et à 4 heures.
D'autres formes de réalisation sont décrites dans les revendications dépendantes.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, en liaison avec le dessin annexé où:
la fig. 1 représente une vue extérieure de la montre selon l'invention;
la fig. 2 est une vue éclatée montrant le fonctionnement de principe du mécanisme de comptage.
La montre 1, équipée d'un bracelet 5, présente un affichage analogique 2 des coups nécessaires pour amener la balle dans un trou. La lunette 4 comprend un repère 10 mémorisant par exemple le début de la partie.
Un compteur cumulatif 3 totalise le nombre de coups déjà joués depuis le trou no 1. Des boutons 6, 8 et 9 servant respectivement à remettre à zéro le compteur à affichage analogique 2 (pour le bouton 6), le compteur cumulatif 3 (pour le bouton 9), ou à des fonctions, connues en soi, de remise à l'heure ou de remontage (bouton 8). Un bouton 7 sert à décrémenter les compteurs 2 et 3 simultanément.
Dans la fig. 2, on voit que le bouton 7 agit sur une pièce pivotante 11 articulée en 12. La forme spéciale 13 de l'extrémité de la pièce 11 lui permet de faire tourner, dans le sens d'une décrémentation de l'afficheur 2, une couronne 14. La couronne 14 est dentée sur tout le pourtour de son diamètre intérieur et sur une portion seulement de son diamètre extérieur.
La position d'affichage analogique correspondant à 0 est obtenue lorsque les trous du cadran sont tous masqués par la portion non dentée de la partie extérieure de la couronne 14. Dans ces conditions, la forme 13 de l'extrémité de la pièce 11 touche tangentiellement la circonférence de la pièce 14 et ne parvient pas à décrémenter l'affichage analogique ni le compteur cumulatif 3.
Le bouton poussoir 15 (fig. 1) agit lui aussi sur une pièce pivotante 16 symétrique de la pièce 11. Cette pièce 16 a une fonction antagoniste de la pièce 11 et sert, lors de l'actionnement du bouton-poussoir 15, à incrémenter les compteurs 2 et 3.
Au fur et à mesure que la couronne 14 pivote autour de son centre sous l'action de la pièce 16, ses dentures extérieures laissent apparaître, face à des trous aménagés dans le cadran et de manière connue en soi, le fond du mécanisme de comptage représenté à la fig. 2. La couleur de ce fond, différente de celle du cadran, apparaît à l'utilisateur et sert ainsi de moyen analogique de comptage, par exemple 3 sur la fig. 1.
Le mécanisme de comptage, représenté la fig. 2, forme un tout qui est adaptable à n'importe quel type de mouvement de montre.
Il est bien entendu que l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple décrit.
The present invention relates to a watch according to the preamble of claim 1.
It is known, for example from Swiss patent application 663 318, golfer's watches provided with several counters.
It is also known, in the field of regatta watches, to display data by analog means such as discs changing color.
Too often, an error in the manipulation of the incrementing means of a counter, such as the involuntary actuation of a push button, is not easily corrected by the golfer. In some cases it is necessary to reset the counter and re-increment it step by step. This drawback makes the use of the watch tedious and leads to a disaffection for the player, who then prefers to count shots by other means.
The invention proposes to remedy this drawback by the means described in the characterizing part of claim 1.
In a particular embodiment of the invention, the means for decrementing consist of a push button, which will for example be placed at 10 o'clock. This push button decrements both an analog counter and the cumulative counter.
In a particular embodiment of the invention, the watch is also equipped with reset means, acting separately on an analog counter and on the cumulative counter, and consisting for example of push buttons placed respectively at 2 o'clock and at 4 hours.
Other embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows, in conjunction with the appended drawing where:
fig. 1 shows an external view of the watch according to the invention;
fig. 2 is an exploded view showing the principle operation of the counting mechanism.
Watch 1, fitted with a strap 5, has an analog display 2 of the shots necessary to bring the ball into a hole. The telescope 4 includes a mark 10 memorizing for example the start of the game.
A cumulative counter 3 totals the number of strokes already played from hole number 1. Buttons 6, 8 and 9 are used respectively to reset the analog display counter 2 (for button 6), cumulative counter 3 (for the button 9), or to functions, known per se, of time-setting or winding (button 8). A button 7 is used to decrement counters 2 and 3 simultaneously.
In fig. 2, it can be seen that the button 7 acts on a pivoting part 11 articulated at 12. The special shape 13 of the end of the part 11 allows it to rotate, in the direction of a decrementation of the display 2, a crown 14. Crown 14 is toothed over the entire periphery of its internal diameter and only over a portion of its external diameter.
The analog display position corresponding to 0 is obtained when the holes in the dial are all masked by the non-toothed portion of the outer part of the crown 14. Under these conditions, the shape 13 of the end of the part 11 touches tangentially the circumference of the part 14 and fails to decrement the analog display or the cumulative counter 3.
The push button 15 (fig. 1) also acts on a pivoting part 16 symmetrical with the part 11. This part 16 has an antagonistic function of the part 11 and is used, when the push button 15 is actuated, to be incremented counters 2 and 3.
As the crown 14 pivots around its center under the action of the part 16, its external teeth reveal the face of the counting mechanism, in front of holes in the dial and in a manner known per se shown in fig. 2. The color of this background, different from that of the dial, appears to the user and thus serves as an analog counting means, for example 3 in FIG. 1.
The counting mechanism, shown in fig. 2, forms a whole which is adaptable to any type of watch movement.
It is understood that the invention is not limited to the example described.
